Lesson 1: Working with Integer Exponents

Part A: Recalling Grade 9 Exponent Laws


If you go back to a wonderful time in your life (Grade 9 Math of course!!), you’ll remember (vaguely,
maybe?!?!?) that you learned about some exponent laws. Well, they’re back again! Remember these?

When multiplying powers with the same base,


Product Rule ____________ the exponents
When dividing powers with the same base, ____________
Quotient Rule the exponents
Power of a To raise a power to a power, _____________ the
Power Rule exponents
Power of a To raise a product to a power, ____________ the
Product exponents of _______ the products by the ____________
Rule the product was raised to
To raise a quotient to a power, ____________ the
Power of a
exponents of _____ the quotient terms by the _________
Quotient Rule
the quotient was raised to

Example 1: Simplify the following expressions using one of the exponent laws.

a) ⋅ b) c) d)

e) f) g)
